2. What is your favorite thing about Cusco? Why?
La ciudad, porque es tranquilo, no es como las grandes ciudades, sus cerros cuando miro veo lo verde que esta, y cuando estoy caminando, veo las grande obras que nos dejaron los incas y nunca me canso de mirar y de imaginar como es que lo hicieron.
The city, because its relaxed, it is not like the big cities, I can see the green on the mountains. When I am walking I can see the great works that the Incas left us and I never get tired of looking at them and imagining how they were made.
3. Besides Machu Picchu, what would you recommend people see when they visit? Why?
Choquequirao, Valle Sagrado y la caminata a Uchuy Qosqo, es muy hermoso el cañon y puedes apreciar los apus mas importantes del Cusco./ Choquequirao, the Sacred Valley and the hike to Huchuy Qosqo, the canyon is very beautiful and you can appreciate the most important Apus of Cusco.
Thank you to Hilda for all your hard work!
